There's no need to repeat what Bai Tian just fought with Loki in his human form.

"What?"

Loki was genuinely taken aback, and almost instinctively exclaimed in surprise, "How did you know?"

Every time he attacked the World Government, he used the thick fog as cover. Besides the giants on his ship, the only people who knew he could transform into a black dragon should be Gaban, Red Hair, and Elder Jarul!

Even the giants of Elbaf knew nothing about it; they didn't even know what the Devil Fruit, the National Treasure passed down through generations of Elbaf, was!

How did this guy know?

Naito smirked. "Not only do I know about this, but I also know who that mysterious King of the World who controlled Harald back then really was. Loki, do you want to know?"

"What?"

Loki's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in disbelief, "What did you say?!"

Red Hair told him that the person controlling his old father was most likely the Celestial Dragons, the King of the World controlled the world from behind the scenes.

But even Red Hair doesn't know the detailed information about that King of the World.

"Beat me."

Naito beckoned to Loki, "I'll tell you everything I know."

"Then you bastard, get ready to get beaten up!"

Without any hesitation, the dark arcs of electricity on the heavy hammer, already Coating with lightning, began to leap simultaneously, and Loki slammed the hammer down fiercely towards Naito.

"Didn't I tell you? I'd make you turn into a black dragon."

Naito didn't even try to avoid it.

At that very moment, an enormous arm, invisible to the naked eye, materialized beside Loki and slammed into Loki's face with a powerful punch.

Even with the formidable physique of the Ancient Giant Tribe, Loki's face was still deformed by this punch.

Wow!

He was sent flying by the blow.

"Prince Loki!!"

The giants watching from the deck gasped in unison.

Prince Loki was blasted off the deck by an invisible attack!

Below lies the pitch-black sea!

No matter how powerful Prince Loki, he's still a Devil Fruit user. And if a Devil Fruit user falls into the sea, they're doomed, aren't they?

"You damn bastard!"

As Loki plummeted towards the sea below, he couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

There's no other way!

Boom!!

Suddenly, dark clouds filled the sky, and streaks of dazzling lightning leaped through the clouds like silver snakes.

A fierce wind was blowing across the sea, and snowflakes were falling from the clouds.

"Whoa!"

Naito looked up at the sky in surprise.

Was it simply a coincidence that they encountered weather changes unique to the New World?

Or is it that even the world is responding to the arrival of the monsters?

"Hold head high!!"

The roar instantly shook the heavens.

A huge blast of air hit them head-on, making the enormous ship tremble in the wind, as if it might capsize at any moment.

"Haha, that's more like it!"

Naito floated in the gale, laughing heartily as he gazed at the colossal creature in the distant sky.

The giant head roared, transforming into a hurricane.

Black wings spread, blotting out the sky and the sun.

Its massive tail lashed out, tearing through the clouds.

Under the pitch-black night sky, the back of the dark monster was completely obscured by the thick dark clouds in the air, but even so, its drooping feet were almost touching the surface of the sea.

How enormous!

The Giant Tribe warship beneath our feet was already enormous enough, its size, reaching thousands of meters, making it difficult for even the highest-ranking warships of the Marine Headquarters to compare.

But compared to the monster in the sky, this warship looked as tiny as a model.

That's not a living organism; it looks more like an island floating in the sky, probably approaching ten thousand meters in size.

"This is the Dragon-Dragon Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Nidhogg form!"

Naito couldn't help but exclaim, "No wonder it's the largest dragon in the world!"

Kaido, whose son of the Azure Dragon was already quite large, looked as insignificant as an eel in front of Loki at this moment.

"You wretched thing, come down to heaven!"

Loki's roar was like thunder.

He vigorously flapped his wings, and the resulting gale instantly dispersed the dark clouds in the sky.

Interestingly, this enormous beast was surprisingly fast at flapping its wings; in the blink of an eye, the black dragon had already soared into the higher reaches of the sky.

Naito smiled, and instantly shot into the air.

If the battle continues on the sea, Loki probably won't be able to fight freely, as his attacks are too large, and a slight misstep could affect the giants on the ship as well.

The two flew tens of thousands of meters into the air in one go.

At that very moment, the black dragon unleashed a powerful roar, "Thunder Realm!"

Brilliant lightning gathered in the dragon's mouth.

The next instant, an enormous pillar of lightning pierced the sky and hurtled straight toward Naito, its dazzling flashes illuminating the night sky.

"Thunder?"

Naito extended his right hand. "What a coincidence."

Boom!

Thunder roared behind him, and lightning of no less impressive scale pierced the air, colliding violently with the lightning spewed out by Loki.

"What?"

Loki's pupils contracted slightly.

This guy also possesses the power to control lightning?

Boom!

A pale, all-consuming crimson light instantly illuminated the entire night sky.

Then came a deafening roar that could shatter the heavens. The space at the center of the collision began to distort, and the enormous fireball burst forth with countless wildly dancing silver snakes, exploding violently in all directions.

A scorching heatwave swept across the sky, transforming into a howling hurricane that crashed down into the sea, instantly creating a towering wave.

The Giant Tribe's ship rocked violently on the waves, and the giants on the deck, pale-faced, gazed up at the sky.

"Hmm, not bad."

Naito nodded in satisfaction.

In a simple long-range firepower exchange, it was a 50/50 fight.

As physical fitness continues to improve, the power of the projection naturally increases as well.

"Iron Thunder Five Arrows!"

Having failed to achieve his first attack, Loki has already launched another offensive.

However, this time it wasn't a solo effort of his breath.

A tiny squirrel was perched on his head.

At this moment, the little squirrel clenched its two tiny paws and spat forcefully forward.

It exhaled a large cloud of white mist, which floated in the sky like a cloud.

Loki spews out lightning in sync.

A brilliant flash of lightning pierced through the white mist in an instant, then transformed into beams of lightning carrying intense cold, raining down on Naito like a sudden downpour.

"I can do that too."

With a snap of his fingers, Naito caused lightning and ice to converge simultaneously. The two forces combined and transformed into countless ice-lightning spears that flew out.

Boom boom boom boom!

Another explosion rang out in the sky, followed by a series of thunderous booms.

Thunder against thunder, ice against ice, the two forces, the two camps, clashed continuously, and flowers of thunder, a combination of cold and heat, bloomed in the sky.

"Um?"

Naito raised an eyebrow slightly.

It was almost the same move, but this time the ice lightning he released seemed to be constantly retreating as it was struck.

That's right. Just now I was only fighting Loki alone, but now I'm facing the combined power of Loki and Iron Thunder.

"Hahahaha!"

The black dragon let out its signature grotesque laugh, "You bastard! You think you can defeat me by using the same moves?"

"Is that so?"

Naito smirked and snapped his fingers lightly again.

"Crack!"

Lightning and ice converged, and a bolt of lightning hundreds of meters wide crashed down, slamming heavily onto Loki's head.

Wow!

Loki screamed in pain as he was caught off guard by the sudden attack, and the squirrel on his head jumped up and down from the shock.

But Loki is Loki; his toughness and resilience are off the charts.

Even when struck head-on by such lightning, he merely staggered, and then...

"Iron Thunder Two Martial Realms!"

The black dragon roared, and dark clouds instantly gathered in the sky, with huge bolts of lightning falling straight down from the clouds towards Naito.

Yeah?
